Iraq
Admiral Fallon Resigns as Head of Centcom
2008-03-11
Just breaking --- I read an article the other day -- was about Fallon NOT being a person for war -- rather negotiate and didn't won't to attack Iran.

Article speculated, that if he stepped down -- Iran is back in the cross hairs.

WASHINGTON — Admiral William Fallon, the head of U.S. Central Command, which leads U.S. operations in Iraq and Afghanistan is stepping down, Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced Tuesday.

Gates said Fallon said misperceptions about differences between his ideas and U.S. policy are making it too difficult for him to operate. Gates said their differences are not extreme, but the misperception has become too great.

I don't know whether he was misinterpreted or whether people attributed views to him that were not his views, but clearly there was a concern," Gates said.
